Update Thursday: We’ve just heard back from The Shop Agora’s owners, and they tell us the Phinney Ridge store is being turned into a wholesale showroom and online distribution center because their business is expanding. They’ve consolidated their retail and food service to the Capitol Hill store.

Earlier:The Shop Agora has closed its Phinney Ridge store, 6417-A Phinney Ave. N. The sign on the door asks customers to visit its Capitol Hill store, which opened in August 2011, at 346 15th Ave. E.

The shades remain closed, but in looking through the glass door you can see they’ve started packing up.
